Wineries:

Tomić winery, Jelsa

Founder and our host at Bastijana winery is Mr. Andro Tomić, a man who  has devoted all his life to wine. He was born at the island of Hvar and  after 20 years of training at the institutes and colleges around the  world he decided to return to Hvar and continue the family tradition of wine  making over 150 years old. Tomić winery produces around 130 000- 150  000 bottles per year, on about 10 hectares of his own vineyards. Apart  of Plavac mali and Prošek they make Beleca white wine and Opolo rose.   Wine cellar  " Triklinij",which is filled with barrels of barrique and  carved in stone just like in Diocletian's basements, is really something  that will leave you breathless and make you come back again!

Duboković winery, Jelsa

Our host at Duboković winery is Mr. Ivo Duboković - owner one of the  best Croatian plavac mali barique "Medvid". He only produces 15 000 - 20  000 bottles per year and therefore his wines are extremely demanding.  Duboković wine cellar is situated in traditional Dalmatian "konoba" in  Jelsa which is over 70 years old. One of his co-operative vineyards is  located at an altitude of 530 m near the Hvar's St. Nicolas peak and is  over 90 years old (autochthonous  wine variety called "Darnekuša").Apart  from wines you can also taste a wide variety of aromatized olive oils.  Mr. Ivo Duboković is a man who is not afraid to experiment with wines  and olive oil, which makes him so special. As a result, his wines can be  found at desks of top restaurants in Croatia, Switzerland, Germany and  recently even in France. This modest but admired winery will amaze you  and the flavour of aromatized olive oils will follow you throughout your  vacation!

Plenković winery, Sveta Nedjelja

Mr. Zlatan Plenković has succeeded to become one of the best selling  winemakers, which wasn’t an overnight process. The jewel in the crown of  his path is Croatian wine knight title he had earned in 2009. He was  the creator of the first Gran Cru in Croatia and his Pošip has won the  prestigious Decanter Best Regional White Wine. The family winery is  located on the south side of the Island of Hvar, in Sveta Nedjelja,  where he possesses 10 ha of vineyards, but they own vineyards near  Šibenik and Makarska as well. Some wines age in a unique cellar, which  is located 70 meters under the ground at a permanent temperature of 11 -  12 °C. Altogether, the winery annually produces about 900 000 bottles.  Often, the mere visit to Sveta Nedjelja is an unforgettable experience,  and the wine tasting of the top wines is just a big bonus!

Carić winery, Vrboska

Carić vinery is located in Vrboska, a small picturesque town most  commonly called “Little Venice”. Carić family has been involved with  vineyards for as long as they can remember. Apart from purchasing a  small amount of grapes from local growers, they have 5 ha of their own  vineyards in a number of different wine growing areas (between Jelsa and  Stari Grad and on the south side of Hvar). They produce autochthonous  sorts such as plavac mali, bogdanjuša, kuč, maraština darnekuša and  pošip. Each wine has its own story and you will definitely enjoy  listening to it!
